Whatd you guys expect?

 

[Alpha and Omega]

A game.

 

[Stringer]

Not when Kwame Browns on your starting lineup

Sad but true. I digress.

 

[Unthinkable]

Hahahaha.

True.

But for real, the Pistons are simply beyond pretty much everyone right now.

 

[Stringer]

This one man show thing might work in the regular season but the other lakers need to step up if they want to have success in the playoffs

Another factual utterance.

 

[Assassin]

37-5

 

[The Riddler]

the rockets are the most dangerous team without a winning record.

 

[NOFX]

LMAO!

 

[The Riddler]

too many damn injuries.

at least they'll finally have yao, t-mac, and alston together by mid-week.

 

[Stringer]

They could make the playoffs and do some damagae if they could start a streak besides a losing one

 

[The Riddler]

if you look at the rockets and take for granted that they are all healthy, they'd be in the top 5 best teams in the league.

all their significant players have missed large amounts of time.

 

[Stringer]

I agree but injuries or not if they dont start winning soon, theyll be back too many games to make a serious playoff run.

 

[The Riddler]

indeed.

we'll see what happens when yao returns.

 

[Stringer]

yeah Im rooting them

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

I've given up on Kwame Browne Who the **** did he just try to pass the ball too? Michael Jordan? And please kwame Browne catch the damn ball!!! Its not that hard young fellow!

Sooo, is it official? Is he the biggest bust in NBA history?

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Detroit is winning 70 games...

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Hmm, not that I don't agree but there is still a lot of season left, so let's see what we have.

FINAL RECORD 71-11 / 62-16


Like I said, those are IMHO, best and worst case scenarios. Of course there are always teams like the Hawks or Raptors that sneak a win in here or there, but I still think that those records are the best and worst Detroit will do.

 

[Alpha and Omega]

Detroit is winning 70 games...

They'll win 60+, but I don't think 70 is in their future. If it is, then I'll eat my words.

 

[Stringer]

I have to believe theyll slip up at some point especially with all the minutes the starters are playing.

After the all-star break is when the season really takes off. We'll see how they perform then. I don't think they'll do a total 180; perhaps they will cool down a bit though.

 

[DarthRekal]

we'll see the first two weeks after teh all star break..i hope they break the bulls record..they are the epiomy of the word TEAM...i like em(i know its blasphimeous coming from a lakers fan mouth) !


big ben is my fave player!.....


why do you have them losing to miami????? humbug...miami's overrated...they'll implode yet......
(of course i'm biased,i hate the diesel--until he retires then he's a laker again )

My thoughts exactly

A few reasons

1) At Miami

2) IF Detroit has a shot at 70, teams will be gunning for them

3) Starters will be tired and worn down by then, and possibly saving themselves for the playoffs.

4) Lots of trades could happen by then.
